Robert, I agree with you entirely and that's why I wouldn't be keen on
charging really. (FYI, when I was thinking about it, I was thinking about £1 on registration)
Robin, I knew that would be your stance straight away
I too am a fan of GPL and you are teaching your granny here ...
But sometimes, yes sometimes, it is worth spending the money - and yes I am a
programmer/database developer
Thanks for the backing David .. maybe this is the way forward and those who
appreciate the service can contribute what they see fit
A few reasons Clive ... security was breached more often on phpBB more so
than on the other 'main' boards (and it could be timely before a patch was released). The admin functionality and user functionality was superior in
IPB than in phpBB. I know phpBB has improved a bit of late but I still think
that IPB v2 is better all round than the latest version of phpBB, IMO.
It's all in the air at the moment and I'm not going to rush the changes ... things
like customising the skin etc is all a consideration as I'd like to introduce more
than just the forum in the future and want a consistent look and feel.
Keep the ideas coming ...
